I really want to give the Bullets the benefit of the doubt here because they do have some quality players on the floor.
Butler, Jamison, & Arenas to name a few. They have been embarrased so far in this series,and returning home might be just what this group needs to get back on track. Only problem is giving the Cavs 5 points might be asking a little too much from this bunch. Wizards win, Cavs cover. 
Washington - 104                            Cleveland - 103
Cavaliers  +5                    over 190

I'll take the Wizards in this one. In my opinion, they are the better team in this series over 7 games IF it was on a neutral court each time. They'll shoot well in this one, the role players will contribute and James won't pull off any heroics in this one.

So far just one look at the line tells me that Washington is the play. Their spread is more than any spread given to Cleveland, the allegedly superior team. Cleveland was handed 2 and 3.5 point spreads at home, and Washington is given 5. The math alone tells me taht the WIzzleskins is the play, especially when a look at th eline shows that the -5 was offered at -105 at some casinos. More numbers to crunch after the kids are put to bed tonight!
 
Washington minus the chalk (well so far at least)

LEBRON HAS A LOT TO PROVE. STEPHENSON SHOULD  HAVE NEVER OPENED HIS MOUTH . HE ADDED GAS TO AN ALREADY BURNING FIRE. ARENAS'  WRIST IS STILL INJURED AND HE WILL NOT BE A FACTOR.

CAVS +5

There is too much money on Cleveland's side 99.1 on the money (expected, as they are the dog) and 51% on the side. So in all actuality the line will have to fall somewhat for the false value effect as the Cleveland money comes pouring in.  Washington will get a late drop on the line, I say probably to Washington-3.5 right before gametime. That figure was dangled at that number briefly at 11:50am yesterday (4/23/08) at the Golden Nugget. They want to get all  of the Cleveland money that they can get, and that was underhanded but crafty on their part to do that. They just took advantage of a good thing. No shame in their game.
 
Wizzleskins -the chalk

Haha, I'm putting this months rent on the team total O 97, dead serious, a whole $445 on that and another $200 on the game over.

Good Luck guys, I think this hits fairly easily.

yeah, I think as a whole the wizards are the better team.  They were close for a lot of game one and very easily could have pulled something out.  This game has heavy revenge factor in it, especially coming off that last blowout.  These teams hate each other and now the ball's in Washington's court.  The Lebron's are weak on the road and should be exposed here.  Vegas knows that WAS is the better team and that's why they gave the cavs 5, draw all that cav money and eventually lower, like styles pointed out.  The winner in each game between these teams has been the home team.  Wiz should have covered last time they met up in Washington, but they got lazy down the stretch and let Lebron have a chance at it.  That won't happen here, they want to destroy the cavs and I'm thinking they succeed.

WAS -5 (i may put half of my money on -2, but I'm going to wait for the spread too fall, too much money on CLE for it to stay)

Lebron has NOTHING to prove, everyone knows how good he is and how much of a factor he is.  Stephensons trash talk proved him wrong in game one.  Washington covers here (they have not lost to CLE at home yet this year).  Washington knows that they have to contain Labron to win this game and I think that they will do so.  Washington by DD's.

washington used to be the better team earlier in the season......that is until the cavs started jelling outta nowhere.....them boys playing ball out there....all thanks to mutha fucking KING JAMES......his first game he had 32pts 6reb 4assists......game 2 he had 30pts 9rebounds 12assists......
Washington cant keep up with that......and whats worse is now the rest of the team is feeding off their leaders energy.....meanwhile BUTLER and ARENAS(especially gilbert) dont seem 100%....if arenas was 100% he would be starting.....they just getting outplayed becuz james can and will do whatever the fuck he wants out there......the wiz will play better.....which is why im taking the over......but i doubt they cover the spread......i hate going against style.......so give me the over(small play on clev buying a half point) for whoever agree......ill just stick with da over.....
